The rule, issued by the California Air Resources Board, will require that 100 percent of all new cars sold in the state by 2035 be free of the fossil fuel emissions chiefly responsible for warming the planet, up from 12 percent today. It sets interim targets requiring that 35 percent of new passenger vehicles sold in the state by 2026 produce zero emissions. That would climb to 68 percent by 2030.
at least LA is building quite a bit. Not much happening in Orange County though
Future headline: California to issue waivers to its gasoline car ban.

:doubt:
No, its cool. We have established a robust trade in Zero-Emission Credits between the fossil fuel automobiles and the Tesla division that builds NFT-cars.
16% of car sales in California for 2022 are Zero Emission vehicles (EV or PHEV). 35% is doable
all new cars sold in the state by 2035
Bold of them to assume we'll have enough economy left to do an automobile industry in 2035.
I'm of the belief that the US will exist by that time and will have a much smaller economy, population likely smaller as well with the amount of deaths that will take place, and a lot more unrest. It'll still functionally be a country but your standard of living will be more like the global souths.
If the USA is unable to perpetually kneecap the global south, then "global south" won't be shorthand for "Perpetual poverty" anymore...
If I had to put money on whether the United States as it’s currently constituted will still even exist in 2035 I’d say no but good job I guess lmao
Great, now they just need to ban the non-gasoline cars :train-shining:
I’ll believe it when i see it.
Exxon will pay Russia to nuke California first.
Yeah in Western countries, saying something will be done more than 10 years from now is basically saying, "wouldn't this be neat? not that we're planning to actually do it"
hell, anything more than like 4 years from now is like that essentially.
Either hydrogen is coming or we are going to have to get the country off it's ass and nuts electric charging infrastructure to handle it.
Developing walkable, bikeable infrastructure is more doable than both I'd say
